If Japanese word for Green Tea is Sencha, what is Japanese Word for Black Tea?

Question:

I need to know the Japanese word for Black Tea and the Kanji. Thanks!

Answer:

Green tea goes by many names, including Ocha (お茶), sencha (煎茶), or maccha (抹茶 or 末茶) (see a longer list here: http://www.df.lth.se/cgi-bin/j-e/jis/dos… ). The names usually depend on what kind of green tea your talking about, i.e. what that particular type of tea is used for. For example, maccha is the type of green tea usually used for tea ceremonies. Black tea is usually Koucha (紅茶).
